Object history
Turner executed in 1796-7 a set of drawings of Salisbury Cathedral to illustrate a book on Wiltshire by Sir Richard Colt Hoare, but the book never appeared. 502 and 503-1883 belonged to the set. The museum also has photographs of six others.
Both drawings were formerly the property of Sir Henry Hoare, Bart.
